Just a Little Personal: I am a stay at home mom of 3 kids, and always trying to keep up with them and my husband(who is the perfect big kid). I have been sewing since I was a little girl, and it just stuck. I have loved every minute of it. When I was taking lessons as a kid, my mom would beg my teacher to keep teaching me so I could keep it up even though I had learned all she could teach me. So I kept going to her house just to have the extra encouragement. Being able to sew things for people online has been a blast, and given me the opportunity to share my creations.

Love it! Thank-you! great designer to work with, very attentive to customer requests as well as small details. Patterns fit very nicely together, better than some store bought name brand patterns I have purchased. I will be back!. -Luell...

Great pattern!!! Great communication. I've made two, so far (one for each of my daughters). I can't wait to make more. Super, super fast shipping. Thanks!. -Shellie..

Oh my goodness... I love the Romantic Confusion Tie for your tiny Valentine.. I have an eleven year old at home and he doesn't even own a tie. What an idea..putting a bra strap behind the neck. How smart is that?cjcmommy@gmail.com
